]]> At 33, Shavini Fernando was given just two years to live—the result of a late-diagnosed hole in her heart, which caused her to develop a life-threatening condition called Eisenmenger syndrome.

Patients such as Fernando often put their lives on hold, because routine activities like climbing stairs or even environmental factors like heat and humidity can cause their oxygen levels to plummet dangerously without notice.
